Life On the Rocks
I'm one quarter whiskey
I'm a quarter heartache
One half a man
With a splash of mistakes
My lifes on the rocks
As I drown in the rye
There's a mountain of memories
Still locked up inside
Life on the rocks
One foot in the grave
Sold my soul to the devil
And he gave me change
I've fought with my demons
But my souls been lost
That's how I'm living
Life on the rocks
My eyes are bloodshot when sober
And the yellow's set in
The names on the bottles
Are my only friends
My wife has long left me
Now I'm paying the cost
For living this life, as if it's in spite
Of my life on the rocks
Life on the rocks
One foot in the grave
Sold my soul to the devil
And he gave me change
I've fought with my demons
But my souls been lost
That's how I've been living, there is no forgiving
Living life on the rocks
This vice I ain't quittin'
Cause this life ain't worth livin'
Life on the rocks
